Duan Fuzhen led thousands of troops, each of the front and rear formations led [-] troops to charge continuously, but was stopped by more than a thousand black armored elite soldiers of the other side, they fought fiercely for more than two hours, and dusk gradually approached.

Murong Hu saw that the opponent was at the end of his strength, and was about to seize the opportunity to take advantage of it in one fell swoop, but he had to send the sentry cavalry scattered outside to report that reinforcements from the Qing army came back.

The Xianbei army hastily summoned gold to retreat, and then the sound of killing not far away shook the sky, and saw a Xiao character waving the flag coming.

Because of going deep into the hinterland of Xianbei and knowing the dangers and unknowns, and being familiar with Chu Ning, knowing that Chu Ning despises his weapons, Xiao Hongfei no longer hides on purpose.

More than a thousand forwards dressed in the Qing Dynasty standard iron armor came roaring with spears/spears and round shields, followed by two thousand elite bows/crossbows wearing the same thin armor as the Zhaoyi Army, and finally seven thousand leather and wooden armors Mixed wear, only equipped with a large army of nine-refined swords produced by the Qing Dynasty Examination Room.

Although compared with the Weimin Army, the Zhongwu Army has a large gap in the quality of armor and weapons, but the Zhongwu Army has a lot of long-range weapons. /Crossbows, there are as many as [-] in the Zhongwu Army, and the other soft bows and strong bows total a thousand and two. Chuning is also very envious of seeing it.

All of a sudden, the Zhongwu Army's murderous aura surged towards the sky, not only shocked Murong Hu's ready to move, but even Duan Fuzhen, who was inseparable from the Weimin Army's killing, quickly retreated the remnants following the sound of Mingjin. Regroup.

Immediately, Ta Lao Xianzun and some border residents who had been hiding behind the gate to watch the battle felt a little relieved.

Chu Ning didn't order the guards to take the opportunity to chase and rush forward, but instead sent an order to repair the defense on the spot.

After a short break in the battle, with the return of the Zhongwu Army, the situation on the battlefield reversed, and it was suddenly so quiet that there were only the screams of Ma Ming and the wounded soldiers.The medical department, who had been waiting for an opportunity to treat the wounded soldiers, immediately took the opportunity to search and rescue the wounded soldiers of the Guards Army. After a simple bandage on the scene to stop the bleeding, the injured soldiers were carried back to the barracks.

"Master Murong!" The Zhongwu army lined up on the left flank of Murong's army, Xiao Hongfei wore a new suit of armor that he got from Chu Ning a few days ago, stepped forward on his horse, and shouted loudly: "What a coincidence! I didn't expect that We meet again here."

skillful?It's a coincidence that he killed someone else's lair?This bullshit pretended to be very level, and there were thousands of beasts roaring past in Chuning's heart.

"It's really a coincidence." Murong Hu replied: "After a few days, General Xiao has become more energetic."

"Speaking of which, this is also thanks to Marshal Murong!" Xiao Hongfei laughed and said, "Is Marshal Murong still satisfied with the sons of this general? Why don't you come and play with Marshal Murong and this general while it's still early?" Last time?"

"General Xiao's invitation, Murong Hu will remember it in his heart." Murong Hu said: "It's just that the sons under my command are eager to return. If there is a chance next time, let's play with General Xiao for a few more games."

"Waiting for Murong Shuai's advice at any time."

After a few words, Xiao Hongfei and Chu Ning watched Muronghu and Duan Fuzhen lead the troops to retreat, and Muronghu also turned his head many times in the team, but this time, he kept looking at the Chu character flag flying in the wind.

With just over a thousand people, they fought against Duan Fuzhen twice. Although Duan Fuzhen broke the iron shield formation, what made Xiao Hongfei more engraved in his heart was—casualties!

The Black Armored Army under General Chu's command is not only physically strong and durable, but also their tactics are quite different from those of ordinary Daqing generals. Apart from the pursuit of excellent weapons, what they pursue is--extremely terrifying Lethality!

"General, today's battle, the casualties left by the enemy when they retreated totaled 480 horses, and 130 people were killed in battle."

After sending Murong Hu away, Chu Ning and Xiao Hongfei led the army back to the camp. The two were talking, and Sun Xing, Liu Changgui, and Ma Zhiyuan came together to report the situation after the war.

In fact, Chuning didn't care much about Xianbei's casualties, but asked quickly, "How about our casualties?"

"Xuan Jiasi lost thirteen brothers in battle." Sun Xing said, "Forty-six people were seriously injured. As for the minor injuries, the rest of the brothers basically all saw red..."

"Where's the String Control Division?" Chuning looked at Liu Changgui and asked.

Liu Changgui clasped his fists and replied: "Seven people were killed in the battle, 22 people were seriously injured, and less than 30 people were slightly injured..."

"That's good." After hearing this, Chu Ning felt relieved a little, and repeatedly urged: "Please tell the medical department that as long as the wounded soldiers are minor or serious, they must be treated with all their strength."

"Yes!"

After the three listened, they took orders with one voice, Sun Xing and Liu Changgui continued to go back to deal with the aftermath, leaving Ma Zhiyuan with the two sisters of the Liang family standing outside the tent on call.

"Chu Zhaoyi, Xianbei's casualties today are quite strange." Xiao Hongfei sat on the side, listening to Sun Xing's words, and said a little puzzled at the moment: "That day when the Husu fought, the Weimin Army fought with the thunderbolt As a result, eight hundred casualties were left...Today, I expected Xianbei to have more casualties, but it was only a thousand..."

"It's not surprising. In the battle of Husu that day, relying on the power of crossbows/arrows, and I did calculations with my heart and mind, I was able to get such a high casualty by accident."

Xiao Hongfei heard the words, thoughtfully, and said: "Chu Zhaoyi means that the guards' army has made several moves, which has aroused the guards of the Xianbei soldiers?"

"At least, I feel that Murong Hu... seems to have found a way to restrain the guards." Chuning said with a wry smile, "If I'm not wrong, today's Duanbu soldiers were sent by Murong Hu as spearmen. Come to test the guards."

After all, the deficiencies of the Weimin army are too obvious. It's okay to use it to bluff people. If you put it in front of a veteran in the battlefield like Murong Hu, you will be seen for a few times. It is Xiao Hongfei, I'm afraid I know it in my heart.

Xiao Hongfei nodded, and didn't continue to ask further questions. After all, the soldiers and tactics under each general's command are different. He only needs to understand, and he doesn't need to inquire about more things.

"Actually, the biggest reason is that it appeared on the three/edge/spear of the Weimin Army." Xiao Hongfei didn't ask, but Chuning was quite frank, and continued: "The front end of this edge/spear is extremely sharp, and it has an extremely excellent The armor-piercing ability is the standard iron armor of the imperial court. In front of it, it is as easy as piercing paper... But it is no better than a sword. When it's critical."

"So, although the armor-piercing ability of the three-edged/edge/spear is excellent, its damage is not as good as that of a sword?" Xiao Hongfei recalled that he had bought five thousand spearheads from Chu Ning back then. What is the use of weak weapons on the battlefield? After all, the Xianbei soldiers are not the Qing army, they have all kinds of armor..."

In Xiao Hongfei's view, only weapons that can quickly make the enemy lose their combat power are most suitable for use on the battlefield—for example, Chuning's thirty Fuyuan ballistas really made him jealous, and he fell in love with Chuning No matter how many times, Chuning was unwilling to sell some of them to him.

"The old man does not agree with General Xiao's words."

Madam Yan led the army back just now, and when she heard that the war was over, she asked Yan Lingge and Li Rui to arrange the troops and spoils first, and then went to find Chu Ning and Xiao Hongfei first.

Seeing someone coming, Xiao Hongfei hurriedly said respectfully: "I also ask Madam Yan for advice."

"Xianbei should not be underestimated." Mrs. Yan did not even take off her armor, entered the account, and said majesticly with her sword: "Since last year, Xianbei has successively descended to the three counties of Lelang, Xuantu, and Liaodong... and now even Liaoxi is more than half. It fell into his hands, just wait and think about it, except for the looted food and population, where did the weapons and armor go in these four counties?"

Xiao Hongfei coughed in embarrassment: "Basically all the weapons and armor in Liaoxi are in the hands of the Zhongwu Army."

"What about the three counties of Xuantu, Lelang, and Liaodong?" Mrs. Yan said: "After my husband's expedition to the east, the imperial court set up a total of six captains in these three counties, with more than [-] troops stationed... Now these soldiers have died in battle. Those who died in battle, those who fled, where did all the weapons and armor go?"

Regardless of whether these soldiers were killed in battle or fled, they would definitely not be able to take away a large number of weapons and armor. Even if the battlefield was damaged, it would be impossible to destroy all the ordnance equipped by the tens of thousands of frontier troops.

"Back then, before my husband's Eastern Expedition, with the strong support of the emperor, he spent many years with the power of the country-[-] cast iron armors, more than [-] strong/bows, [-] horns/bows/crossbows, [-] single bows/crossbows, [-] rhubarb crossbows, [-] warships, and more than [-] trained cavalry!"

Hearing these words, Chu Ning and Xiao Hongfei's expressions changed dramatically at the same time, and Madam Yan continued: "After the Eastern Expedition, rumors spread in the court, and my husband was trapped and died... However, the whereabouts of these weapons and armor are still unknown. Can you think about it, the reason for this?"

"Rhubarb crossbow?!!!" Without waiting for Mrs. Yan to continue, or Xiao Hongfei to speak, Chuning gasped and asked hastily, "But the rhubarb used by Li Guang, the flying general of the former dynasty, to shoot and kill the Huns?" crossbow?"

Li Guang, the former parachutist, was famous among the Xiongnu. With only a few thousand soldiers, he was surrounded by [-] cavalry led by King Zuoxian of the Xiongnu. He fought until his armor was completely destroyed and his arrows were gone.

Madam Yan replied: "Exactly!"

Chuning's face suddenly turned pale—the legendary rhubarb crossbow!Compared with the killer weapon of the super era, the horns/bows/crossbows made by Takumi are simply scumbags!

In his previous life, when Chuning was mixed in history and military forums, he had seen countless fans of the Han Dynasty exaggerating the power of the rhubarb crossbow - it is said that its shooting can reach about 400 meters.

The maximum range of the single/bow/crossbow of the Zhongwu Army is only 200 meters. The horn/bow/crossbow made by Jiang Zuosi now has a range of only 250 meters after improving the arrows, and the range of the rhubarb crossbow has almost reached the single /bow/crossbow twice! ——You know, the effective range of the well-known AK-47 is only 300 meters!

"According to Madam, all these weapons fell into the hands of Xianbei people?" Xiao Hongfei did not lose his composure as much as Chu Ning, thinking: "But over the years, Xianbei has met me in Daqing several times in battle, and I have never heard of this batch of weapons." Weapons and armor appeared..."

"I'm not sure that this batch of soldiers fell into the hands of the Xianbei people." Mrs. Yan said: "But I think that it is because these soldiers have not appeared that this is the most terrifying."

When Chu Ning came back to his senses, he secretly regretted that he had known about the Eastern Expedition for a long time, but he didn't ask Bai Su a few more questions. In that year, General Yan marched eastward.However, what is certain is that this batch of weapons and armor is definitely not in Bai Su's hands, otherwise, before the Guards Army was born, Bai Su would have been able to arm a strong army and hand it over to Yan Lingge.

Thinking over and over in his heart, Chuning asked, "According to Madam, what should we do?"

Madam Yan looked at Chuning with a solemn expression, and said, "Zangfeng."

Chu Ning looked at Mrs. Yan, his eyes darkened, and he replied, "Jushi?"

The author has something to say: I seem to have seen a comment before saying that the battlefield is written with passion, but human life seems to be worthless... But now I can't find this comment.

In fact, when I write about the battlefield, I don't write it for passion, but more, just for the word "enlightenment".

After all, Chuning was not a natural general, and her military ability can only be said to be average, but why should she be allowed to participate in the battlefield?

The purpose is to let her 'enlighten' something.

For example, at the very beginning, she believed that the purpose of war was for profit.

But later, Feng Jiuqing said that the purpose of war is not to war, but to peace.

But now, she realizes that war is different from battlefield...

These things, only when she has experienced them herself, will she understand the difference and find a path that suits her.

This is not passion, but growth.

As for the troubled times... human life is really worthless, not even worth a piece of cabbage.

According to records, the population of the Han nationality was about 6000 million at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty. After the three divisions of the world, the rebellion of the eight kings, and the chaos of the five chaos in China... Later, there were only about 400 million Han people in the north.

At the end of the Tang Dynasty, after recuperating, the Han nationality returned to the level of the end of the Han Dynasty, which was about 6000 million... But in the early Northern Song Dynasty, the remaining population was only 2000 million.

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, the population of the Han nationality was 2000 million. However, after the war subsided and the society became stable in the early Qing Dynasty, there were only about 5000 million people left.

Not to mention the deaths caused by famine and cold during the war, but only the massacres after the siege of the city and the looting of the village, the number is terrible.

For example, after the Qing army entered the customs, the famous Yangzhou ten-day massacre, a world-class metropolis at that time, was almost slaughtered into an empty city after the city was broken!According to the records of the monk who collected the corpses, more than 80 people died in this massacre, and this does not include those who fell into the river, closed their homes and committed suicide, and hanged themselves in remote places.
